(a) No person shall:
(1) Operate any motor vehicle, except when necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law, in such a manner that the vehicle or its motor emits a loud, cracking, chattering or other unreasonably loud noise or that the tires of such vehicle squeal or leave tire marks on the roadway, or throw gravel and debris, commonly called "peeling;"
(2) Operate any motor vehicle so as to race or accelerate the motor, while the vehicle is not in gear or in motion, in such a manner as to produce unnecessary or unreasonably loud noise; or
(3) Operate any motor vehicle so as to race or excessively accelerate the motor, while such vehicle is in motion, in such a manner as to produce unnecessary or unreasonably loud noise.
(b) Creation of noise by the squealing of tires or by a cracking or chattering from an exhaust system or the creation of tire marks on a roadway accompanying such squealing of tires shall be considered prima-facie evidence of an intent on the part of the operator to violate this section.
